If you've ever been pulled over for speeding before, you more than likely did your best to come up with an excuse to avoid being ticketed. Well, when Texas couple Destiny and Caleb Hall were pulled over for speeding down the highway in their Jeep Cherokee, they really did have a good reason: Destiny was in labor, and she knew her baby Evelyn was ready to be delivered. Despite being turned away just hours earlier by doctors who insisted her contractions needed to be more severe before being admitted, this expectant mother could tell she was about to give birth.

As luck would have it, Destiny's water broke at the exact same moment Deputy Constable Mark Diebold pulled the couple over. "Caleb was shouting, 'We're gonna get you to the hospital and we're gonna have this baby!'" Destiny told TODAY. "I said, 'Ha! Pull over.'"'

After figuring out what was going on, Diebold wanted to try and get Destiny to the hospital as fast as possible, but Evelyn couldn't wait. Destiny soon gave birth to a healthy baby girl in the middle of rush hour traffic. While the couple definitely wasn't expecting their delivery to go down like that, what was most surprising was just how genuinely excited the officer was to help out.

Since then, the couple has stayed in touch with Diebold, even going to lunch with him and meeting his family. "His wife reached out to tell me he had been having a rough couple weeks," she told TODAY. "He had asked for a sign to show that he was doing the right thing, and then this happened."

To give the officer something tangible to look back on, Destiny decided to arrange a baby photo shoot in his honor. Cyndi Williams photographed baby Evelyn with his badge in what might just be the most precious set of newborn photos we've ever seen.
